The BG-Map Facilities Management Module software has been developed collaboratively with The Mount Cuba Center

Gardens are more than plants! Manage your garden's vital facilities and infrastructure with the BG-Map Facilities Management Module. It maintains records, tracks suppliers and contacts, and schedules maintenance. And, it allows you to find objects and create maps quickly and easily.

Authorized staff can use a web browser on a desktop or mobile device to search for Facilties Management Objects by class and type, keywords and maintenance requirements. They can display objects
along with description, contacts, maintenance history and images.

Each facilities management object is defined under a hierarchy of Class/Type/Subtype, which
is completely user-definable. Each object is assigned a set of attributes and maintenance
tasks, based on its Object Type.

Link Windows Media to Objects

And, an unlimited number of media files can be associated with
each object, allowing the attachment of pertinent photographs, sketches, copies of invoices, sound recordings, videos, web pages, etc.

Track Maintenance

BG-Map maintains a running history of all maintenance performed on each object.
It displays the next required maintenance date, and it alerts the user if maintenance is overdue.

Query the Database to Find Objects

It can locate any object or objects based on search criteria entered by the user - For
example, it can answer the question: "Show me all buildings that will require
painting this year." The results of the query can be displayed as a list or as a map.

Generate and Track Work Orders

Generate work orders for maintenance work and repairs. Track work order status. Link work orders to Facilities Management Objects. Save work orders in HTML format so they can be viewed and printed using any web browser on a network or intranet. Or, send work orders by e-mail.

Each Facilities Management object can be mapped in one of 3 ways - as a point, as a line, or as an enclosed area. Line and Area type objects are displayed with the object's key number embedded in a line. Clicking anywhere on the line will retrieve detailed information about the object.

BG-Map automatically calculates object areas, lengths, and perimeters. These attributes can be used to perform searches - for example - "Find all water pipes less than 300 feet long." GPS and total station surveying equipment can be used to accurately survey and map objects.
